In this video I bring you along as I "oil spray" a customers 2015 Chevy Silverado with the classic Fluid Film. This is the stuff I use on the daily here in the rust belt of NY. There are a lot of options out there to oil spray your vehicle with. You just need to pick one and DO IT! Happy spraying! ‪@fluidfilmusa‬

My experience is that the fluid film branded gun is ok for home use but won't hold up if you go through 55 gallon drums. That pro plus gun looks pretty sweet, though I have no experience with it. Also, don't fool yourself thinking you are going to do a whole car with cans. Besides the cost, I've found that the product in the aerosol cans is different. It seems to be thinner and not work as well. Just my experiences as a home mechanic who has fluid filmed my own and friends cars.

I saw a video on RU-vid where I guy tested several types of undercoatings including fluid film. From best to worst, 1) PB Blaster Surface Shield, tied for last NH Black and Crown, both junk. Fluid film was in the middle somewhere. I made up my own for a while, summer grade bar n chain oil, a toilet ring, (beeswax) and 5 cakes of paraffin wax. then heated Mine did as well as fluid film. Do not use any kind of hydraulic fluid. It absorbs moisture. The waxy stuff on the frame is probably lanolin put on at the factory.

Hi Eric O! I live in southern Norway and our climate requires rust preventive treatment. They use salt on our roads every winter. The most used stuff here is a Valvoline product called Tectyl.

The other version is thick and wax like and is for all underside use. Its applied with a high pressure air gun. Doesen't drip after application. I love this stuff and it keeps the metal worms away.

What about using a sacrificial anode like they do on boats!?

@omarpulido8502 2 месяца назад

I did the weekly underbody water rinses / car washes. They don't work well for rust prevention in my experience. I used fluid film the next winter when I saw rust on my new car

@bigscout1584 Год назад

Just a question Eric. What is it with us older guys and that one belt loop in the same spot. We always miss that one loop😂

I'm so glad I live in the south.

You tell them man... good video. Save your vehicle,r make it last longer. Have a great weekend, hopefully you get over 1 million followers soon. I just met / found your channel a few months ago,and been sending your videos to my family and friends,🤠☮️✌️

I usually do the FF treatment in late September/early October to minimize pre-winter washoff, but your thoughts about doing it now and giving it time to creep have me rethinking this, especially since I have two new daily drivers in the driveway...

@BS.-.- Год назад

Doing it before the winter allows dirt to stick to it helping it from washing off.

@jdboy9 Год назад

Stuff is always going to wash. Multiple touchups throughout the year helps. Pb blasters new stuff seems to resist wash off a bit more.

@GarnConstructionInc Год назад

A friends dad used to spray used oil on his fender wells and wherever he could spray. I thought it was overkill back then when everything was more open then it is now. He knew.

@tomstarcevich1147 Год назад

Yeah I do my truck with pb blaster surface shield 🛡 in September 🛻👍

@danfarris135 Год назад

Just do it twice a year and get double the benifits😉

@paulbeaudet8461 Год назад

For those of us that use Krown: All the franchises are supposed to have aerosol cans for sale. Great for touching up when you're swapping parts or notice a rust spot spot starting. Handy for rustproofing other things around the house.

@rightlanehog3151 Год назад

I pick up a can every year when I am having my car Krowned.

@denhackle8020 Год назад

I also go to Krown and when they ''give'' me the aerosol can I always feel like it is to me to complete the job .... 😁😁

@jackpalczynski7884 Год назад

Back in the day, we sprayed used motor oil all over the bottom of our trucks in the western Oblast of the PRM, just to your east. The Berkshires become salt mounds in the winter just like the PRNY. Worked pretty well and was an easy way to get rid of our used oil that we changed every 2000 miles back then.

@tommcintosh7241 Год назад

Some cars self lube the bottom on there own. 🤣🤣🤣

@randymcdonald4376 Год назад

Love your passion Mr O

@johnhiram1207 Год назад

I live in Maine and fluid film is a great product.

@dylwing23 Год назад

Does this still help on smaller unibody cars? They seem to hold up better than trucks especially if the bottom is mostly covered.

@chrissmithz314 Год назад

Yes. At the very least I would do the front and rear subframes, since replacing those can be time consuming and pricey.

@wirefeed3419 Год назад

Doesn’t matter what vehicle type or make, any hole any joint in steel that water can get to or into the salt can also.

@TonicofSonic Год назад

I used surface shield last fall and I suspect it actually aided in my rockers rotting out in that same winter. Protected the frame and suspension pretty good though

@A-Z__124 Год назад

As you give the Chevy guys grief, don't forget about the cam eating lifters. That AFM system is a joke.

@GTPCarpy Год назад

Hemis are just as bad if not worse. Curious to see how the 22+ Coyotes will do with it

@warddc Год назад

Just disabled my AFM in the ECM. Hope that helps with the oil burn and future lifter failure.

@philllsxga.7737 Год назад

Hemis are worse but no body talks about it. And now the Ford 7.3. The lifters are all made by Eaton. Same lifters in all three brands.

@SIGINT007 Год назад

I'll deal with the GM AFM system over the self-destructing cam lobes in a Hemi.

@dmusk Год назад

What percentage of your customer's would you estimate get their vehicles fluid filmed?

@robertnicholson771 Год назад

He discussed it another video with his wife. They tried to figure out why people don't protect their cars, so I guess very few.

@johnblystone8781 Год назад

Based on your recommendation a few weeks ago, I got Fluid Film. Love it. Well worth the cost. Thanks so much Eric.

@f0r3v3r_ Год назад

Woo, can smell that Fluid Film from here!

@ecleveland1 Год назад

Eric, what is the average cost in your area for a treatment like this?

@wingman2k Год назад

Usually its around 150 bucks by me but NY might be more

@xlandros Год назад

I live in far upstate NY, and it’s $200 for a minivan.

@macquanski Год назад

I'm in south eastern Ontario, and Krown charges $149 Cdn plus 13% tax for a minivan. But every year, they partner with CAA to offer a scratch & win promo in the June time frame with a minimum discount of $25. So it costs me $129 plus tax. You could win the whole cost of the treatment, but I've never been that lucky 😞

@dougngwenlawson3886 Год назад

Excellent job Mr O

@davidyoung1632 Год назад

That fluid film is for real man. Wouldn’t know of it if it wasn’t for you!

I always wondered when the best time was... summer makes sense. Thanks! As a Canadian & the smoke... you're welcome...lol, just trying to keep the temperature down a little for ya :)

Excellent - I have mine done every year! It works! Start when new and do it annually.

@alanmorrison3598 Год назад

Great video as always Eric! Your opening line making fun of us Chevy guys had me rolling on the floor! Always appreciate your soft heart for "kitty"..She so cute! I only wish I lived close enough to utilize you services!

@kirbyyasha 11 месяцев назад

I started doing this to my cars once you recommended it. My 04 Vibe was already in great shape, and still is. I had an 04 Endeavor, and doing this totally helped slow the spread of rust on it until I finally got rid of it. My new Sienna I plan on doing this in the next few weeks as I prefer keeping things for a long time.

@Fierylad Год назад

@4traxxsify Год назад

I Have a 04 silverado i purchased new and still have it to this day thanks to fluid film. Purchased a 2020 silverado also and it gets the same treatment.
